Sorry responding a bit late. The laser table we have is from this place called Kern. We have a few different sized ones.
https://kernlasers.com/laser-systems/optidual/
My guess is the table cutting surface is roughly 6'-0" x 12'-0" maybe? Probably not something a home user wants to try and buy, but I think a job like this could easily be contracted out to a sign company that has one. There are smaller tables and maybe if someone has a workshop setup and will be doing a lot of projects like this, they could find a used one for relatively not too expensive. It would have to be well ventilated though.
No idea the cost, but most of that will be for the Acrylic sheet material. The thicker the more expensive it will be. Something between 1.5mm (1/16") and 3mm (1/8") would be the most cost effective, but 6mm (1/4") would work if you want something more rigid for each piece. You could also have two pieces cut of the same shape and then laminate them together, but if you want the material clear, that's less desirable.
Looks like this project is coming along nicely though.
